**Protest Banner Displayed at IMSS Bienestar Hospital in Ensenada**
A protest banner was recently placed on the facade of the General Hospital in Ensenada, situated in the Loma Dorada neighborhood along Reforma Avenue. The message on the banner criticized the hospital for allegedly failing to ensure quality patient care, citing a shortage of medical staff, lack of medications, insufficient equipment for specialized tests, and maintenance issues with the building.
In response to these allegations, the State Health Secretariat has requested information from the IMSS Bienestar Coordinator in Baja California to clarify these concerns. The coordinator has reportedly engaged with the hospital director, Juan José Godinez Montaño, to address potential administrative issues contributing to the complaints.
The Health Secretariat has stated that according to reports from IMSS Bienestar, the hospital’s services have continued without disruptions, and efforts are underway to resolve the issues to maintain medical care continuity. However, as of now, IMSS Bienestar has not released an official statement regarding the matter.
This protest has sparked unease among some of the healthcare service users in the region.
